The store still has that pony?!

Last year, I found G3 Crystal Princesses at a pharmacy store. I regret not picking them up, but at the time it wasn't that big of a deal to me. I don't think I realized just what I was dealing with.

I snagged a Midnight Dreams from CVS last year. Ended up giving her away in a swap but I was shocked they had her!

It's funny, my CVS still had a G3 Midnight Dream on the shelf up until about 2 years ago!  I think she was $8 or $9- maybe that's why she stayed so long?  Or maybe not many people go to a pharmacy store to buy ponies

Late 2012, one of the Targets near me had G3s that had been out for 3-4+ years. I imagine they went into clearance once G4 started emerging.

My local supermarkets still have a good cache of masquerade ponies and design-a ponies (RD and Luna).

No way, I ALSO went to a Target today and was surprised to find the sparkly Wisteria (and 3 sparkly Pinkie Pies)!  I didn't get her because I was on the fence and kind of in a hurry, but now I regret it so I'll see if she is still there tomorrow and nab one of the Pinkies, too.  Cannot.  Resist.  The glitter.

Probably about eight years ago, I was in Albertson's grocery shopping and found a G1 Merry Go Round board game on the shelf, still sealed.  Of course I picked it up to buy!    It didn't come up in their system, so the slightly befuddled cashier decided to sell it to me for $1.  Still not sure how it ended up there -- maybe it was buried in the depths of the stock room? -- but I was a pretty happy camper!  I think it's still in my storage closet unopened, especially since I had the same game opened from my childhood.

Ok that is pretty darn awesome.

Just today my local toy shop had the wedding singles, fun at the fair with sweetie belle and apple bloom, and rd designer pony. The toy shop where we holiday has ponyville bnib - including the teapot palace!!!

I see quite a few stores here still with ponyville - and it's NEVER discounted. Actually the same Rarity's carousel set has been sitting at my local Big W for several years - I know it's the same one because there's a scratch on the box, and it's still got the $50 on it it has the day they released it!

I remember finding 2 Springtime Fluttershys in Big Lots long after I'd finally stopped seeing them on clearance in other stores.

I was also surprised this week to see that first 12-pack TRU blindbag set on shelves, but the second one they put out isn't even on their website anymore, and is going for $100 or more on ebay. O_o

I saw a G3.5 Sweetie Belle at TRU last year, but I can't say I was that surprised, lol.

Yeah I don't get why they don't discount the long-term shelf-warmers. We've had that rainbow set of 7 blind bags at Tesco here for...two years? Maybe more? They reduced the price for a bit and then increased it. Because if no one's buying it at £8, charging £13 is totally gonna encourage it?

Twilight's Sparkling Balloon at a local Toyworld. It was still there when I visited last year, not sure if it's still there now - but I wouldn't be surprised because it's full price

[HeartLumi]

Just last week I picked up a few set at a local store (who apparently does not sell their toys much...)
There was a few glimmer wings, Daisy Dream and Fluttershy, Rainbow dash wedding, Sweet Apple barn, Spring Fluttershy, Sweetie Belle's Ice cream train and Fluttershy's nursery train.
There was some ride-along, they also had a lot of ponyville sets! But I didn't grab thoses.
I will put some of them for sale/trade, but I'm keeping some for myself too!

I also saw Pinkie pie and her rc car at TRU yesterday, I Wonder if I should go get her...

Shortly after G3.5 were released, I found Alphabittle in our local Albertsons' toy section, back behind a box of Hot Wheels. Didn't expect to see her there!
